U2 Three - 7"

Ireland

On the CBS sunburst labels, three different copyright notices exist. They are either: 1. "All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Unauthorised public performance, broadcasting and copying of this record prohibited" or 2. "All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Unauthorised public performance, broadcasting, copying and rental of this record prohibited" or 3. "All rights of the producer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Unauthorised copying, public performance, broadcasting, hiring or rental of this recording prohibited".Some of the re-issue CBS records, depending on the thickness of the vinyl, are a translucent brown vinyl when held to light. I have indicated below the most obvious ones.

Record is slightly brown on the A-side. I suspect that it was not pressed like this, but may have changed colour over time as a result of being in contact with the PVC wallet of PAC I for a prolonged period of time. Something similar may account for the fully "brown" vinyls.

B-Label: Red & black CBS. This version has "STEREO" written on left hand side between "45 RPM" and "CBS Records". This is different to the orange vinyl above and the other red & black label versions of U2 Three, but is the same as the other 3 coloured vinyl singles.
